You've received some great advice in this thread, Adult SEO, and I hope you seriously considered it. I wanted to highlight this comment of sarettah's, because it is very true. You can *always* lower your base price for a particular job. It's very, very difficult to raise it. If you give someone a quote and they balk...negotiate. But always negotiate from a position of strength. Don't think of yourself as competing with cheaper programmers. Think of the position you want to be in: competing with known, successful programmers who charge more per hour because the companies they work for know that they're worth it.

Good luck to you.
